Latest update on BAM D6.5 SP1 – by Ailen Polan
Latest D.6 SP1 release (with the latest patch releases) of Business Activity Monitoring in Documentum Process Management 6.5 is a big leap from the BAM that was released last year. I remember my co-developer encountered quite few problems back then from the installation up to generating reports. Now, it’s a different BAM. It is easy to manage and configure.
It basically does what we expect BAM to do but now with ease. I am surprised that the installation and the creation of Pre-Configured Reports could now be done within 1-2 weeks with the help of installation and implementation guide. To generate accurate BAM reports, make sure that business data are readily available and that Process Administrator had already activated process monitoring in Taskspace. That way, you can keep project schedule on track.
In handling custom reports, plan to do it for about 1-2 months so there is enough time to create source views. Do not forget that it is necessary to have a complete perception of the BAM data model and DQL. There are sample reports in the guide that are easy to follow. Chart properties inside PRS are simple to manipulate. I also observed that the bugs reported before are already fixed. Thanks to the active support of the TAP Issue Tracker Team.
